The BHVU Winter Open in Stoke Newington closes tomorrow (Sunday 19th December) at 6pm. If you’re stuck in Stoke Newington in the snow this weekend, why not go and have a look? As well as the art there’s a Christmas Market. Perfect for a special gift.
David has had two paintings (i found you on the street and there’s a squid problem) accepted into the BHVU Winter Open Exhibition which will be open from 27th November – 19th December 2010 at Basket House Village Universe in Leswin Place, London N16.. The private view will be on Thursday 25 November. More details to follow shortly…
This made me chuckle in today’s Metro. A couple of years ago I designed the trophy for the 40th anniversary ‘Booker of Bookers’ literary prize. It was awarded to Salman Rushdie for Midnight’s Children. He obviously doesn’t think much of it!
Salon16 presents Ordinary Monsters:
Thanks to Ketan Raval who filmed and edited this.
I’ve posted a few images from the shoot I did with photographer Kalpesh Lathigra. During the ORDINARY MONSTERS exhibition in Brick Lane, Kalpesh and I shot members of the public wearing masks and headgear that I’d made that were directly influenced by the characters in my paintings. The resulting images will be exhibited in my next exhibition in February…
The SALON16 exhibition ORDINARY MONSTERS has ended. It seems to have been a great success, with the work provoking strong reactions from members of the public. To find out more about the event, visit the new SALON16 website. Lots of pictures from the opening party here…
The latest exhibition organised by my collaborative art space Salon16 opens this week for four days only. Of course I’d love you see you there. Why not come to the opening night party and see Bunny de Sade perform her ‘musical soundscrape’? Or pop in on Sunday and model for award-winning photographer Kalpesh Lathigra? Or just come along any time between Saturday and Tuesday and see what all the fuss is about! For more information and the latest updates visit salon16.org.
